Call for assistance with Voices and Choices radio show (Cleveland, although remote work is possible)
I'm trimming this down from the original email I received, so I can share it about as widely as possible. If you're interested, please drop me a comment or message, and I'll happily put you in touch!
Hi there, Cleveland feminists--
Hi everyone. I'm writing because Voices and Choices needs help. Right now, [there are four people involved, three locally, and two of the locals are leaving town soon.]
I reached out to you because you're a Cleveland feminist activist and I thought you might be interested in contributing to keeping Voices and Choices going. We've been on WRUW since 2000, and we want to remain on the air. As far as we know, we're the only pro-choice dedicated radio show in the country.
Ways you could help:
-participate the WRUW AP training program next fall and become an official V+C member. You'd be fully trained by January. If you're interested, I can let you know what this process entails. Basically you go to a couple meetings, intern on a radio show for a semester (it has to be music so you learn how to operate the board well), and then take a final test. We already have one person who is planning on APing and joining V+C but we'd love to have more.
-conduct feminist/pro-choice/LGBTQ/etc interviews with people you're interested in hearing from, either live in-studio, or pre-recorded (Nikki uses google voice to record phone interviews. She says it is super easy and that she'd be willing to explain) to help keep the show fresh with interviews and take some weight off the rest of us as far as generating content goes.
-pass the word along to others that may be interested
Please let me know if any of you are interested in helping. We really need some new blood to keep V+C alive. Otherwise, this summer might be our last.
